Season Predictions 2016
Current seeding: 9th
Projected seeding: 9th
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Bulls have been ravaged by injuries this year. With the potential talent that this roster could have -- from stars PF/C Pau Gasol, SG/SF Jimmy Butler, and PG Derrick Rose, to a very solid crop of role players -- I can state with confidence that this would no doubt be a playoff team if injuries had not taken place. If. The reality, however, is that C Joakim Noah has been out for the season for quite some time, and that Rose, Butler, and others have missed double-digit games. Now, Chicago finds themselves a couple games back of the playoff picture, and few games left to recover. But Butler is still dealing with injuries, as is the rest of the roster. With Indiana and Detroit improving by adding PG Ty Lawson and PF/SF Tobias Harris, respectively, I just don’t see Chicago catching up in time.
